More About Wedgwood, Part I, Author Unknown

I THINK I have never met a man or a woman with soul so dead as not to feel something of the charm and beauty of old Wedgwood. The modern product by that name is beautiful, but the old ware-the work of the original Josiah Wedgwood surpasses it, and there is apparent an increasing interest in it among amateur American antiquarians. Those of our American forefathers and foremothers who owned some of it were indeed fortunate. They possessed the best that was to be had. And those of us who have inherited a piece or two are even more fortunate.

The story of this greatest of English potters is inspiring, and his product was unquestionably the finest that England has ever produced, in workmanship, design, material, and color. When Josiah Wedgwood started in the potter's trade, most of the tables of the middle classes in England bore only crude clay dishes, pewter, and woodenware. Saltglaze ware was too costly, and it remained for Wedgwood to provide those tables with good ware, perfect in form and material, at a low cost. But he did far more than this. In his finer ware he created works of art that are still the envy of sincere craftsmen. The collection of old Wedgwood, therefore, is a collection not only of antiques, but of true works of art, that no changes in fads or fashions can ever render less valuable to the connoisseur.

MSN Groups Service to Close in February 2009

MSN has announced that their MSN Groups Service will close in February 2009. Current MSN Groups have the option of moving to http://multiply.com, a Groups partner of MSN. Further information about this event will be disseminated by MSN in the near future.

Of interest to us are the two Groups in which we participate, both Wedgwood Jasperware and Wedgwood Collector related. Wedgwood Jasperware will be moving to Multiply.com before the February closing date. We have not yet heard from the Wedgwood Collector Group.

Support Our Military

How You Can Support Our Military

Care packages are a great way for us "at home folks" to support our military, especially those serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. We have been doing just that for some time through the http://www.anysoldier.com project. In the Anysoldier program, a deployed soldier, sailor, marine, or coastguardsman can sign up to represent his/her group. Then we at home can request an address(s) from AnySoldier in order to send a package, which the recipient shares with his/her group. The Soldier posts a note every month or so on AnySoldier, detailing exactly what their needs are at the time. That way, we can send them just what they need--and their needs vary from A to Z depending on where they are located. The USPS is supporting this care package effort by providing specially priced priority mail boxes for APO addresses.


Another project we support is http://www.cellphonesforsoldiers.com. You can drop your old cell phones off at any participating AT&T store--they recycle them and donate proceeds to this project. Another way you can support BOTH AnySoldier and Cellphones is to get an address from AnySoldier of someone who is requesting phone cards. Then pass this address on to the phone card project, because they cannot, by law, request military addresses directly. But they can accept the address from you; and will send the phone card(s) directly the to APO address provided. Then, follow up with a care package to that same address, because the AnySoldier Program requests that if you ask for an address, you should follow through with a package.

Another project we support is http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org. They support our wounded troops--from the battlefield to their bedside. WWP sends Transitional Care Packs to medical units in Iraq and Afghanistan. When called for support upon their return home - WWP provides Backpacks and Peer Mentoring at the bedside. WWP developed a comprehensive adaptive and outdoor sports and recreation program for wounded warriors. When called to relieve financial burdens, WWP spearheaded the creation of a new insurance benefit that to date has paid over $160 million to the wounded and their families.

There are many other worthy military support groups--but these are at the top of our list.

God Bless our Troops and God Bless America.

Collectibles

A collectable or collectible is typically a manufactured item designed for people to collect. In this respect, they are distinguishable from other subjects of collections, which may also include natural objects (e.g., butterflies) and objects manufactured for purposes other than collecting (e.g., stamps). Some objects designed for other purposes, such as toys, become so popular among collectors that they are later marketed specifically to that audience. The high price for certain older Star Wars action figures is a good example of this phenomenon since the figures were originally intended to be purchased as toys rather than collectibles.

The earliest collectibles were included as incentives with other products, such as cigarette cards in packs of cigarettes. Popular items developed a secondary market and sometimes became the subject of "collectible crazes". Eventually many collectible items came to be sold separately, instead of being used as marketing tools to increase the appeal of other products.

To encourage collecting, manufacturers often create an entire series of a given collectible, with each item differentiated in some fashion. Examples include sports cards depicting individual players, or different designs of Beanie Baby. Enthusiasts will often try to assemble a complete set of the available variations.
The early versions of a product, manufactured in smaller quantities before its popularity as a collectible developed, sometimes command exorbitant premiums on the secondary market. Dolls and other toys made during an adult collector's childhood can command such premiums. Unless extremely rare or made as a one-of-a-kind OOAK, in a mature market, collectibles rarely prove to be a spectacular investment.

Occasionally, a series of circumstances will take place that result in an item from a collectible series becoming exceptionally valuable. These objects are referred to as collector's items due to their rarity, and these objects have occasionally been valuable enough to be sold for substantial amounts of money. Some even later destroy remainders of such items to cause forced scarcity.

Today is Victory In Iraq Day

On this November 22, 2008, join us in observing Victory in Iraq Day.

Let us honor the sacrifice, dedication and sheer determination of American, coalition and Iraqi troops who have brought freedom to the nation and people of Iraq.

Although our governments have chosen to not name any official day marking the end of this war, we the people have taken it upon ourselves to commemorate November 22, 2008 as the day of victory over the forces of tyranny, oppression and terror in Iraq.

Join fellow bloggers and other members of the public in this virtual ticker-tape parade for our brave troops, to celebrate their success, to remember the fallen, and to declare, in the words of President John F. Kennedy (RIP):
"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty."

November 22, 2008 is Victory In Iraq Day

Edited from www.zombietime.com:

Join the VIDay movement!

We won. The Iraq War is over. I declare November 22, 2008 to be "Victory in Iraq Day." (Hereafter known as "VI Day.")

By every measure, The United States and coalition forces have conclusively defeated all enemies in Iraq, pacified the country, deposed the previous regime, successfully helped to establish a new functioning democratic government, and suppressed any lingering insurgencies. The war has come to an end. And we won.

What more indication do you need? An announcement from the outgoing Bush administration? It's not gonna happen. An announcement from the incoming Obama administration? That's really not gonna happen. A declaration of victory by the media? Please. Don't make me laugh. A concession of surrender by what few remaining insurgents remain in hiding? Forget about it.

The moment has come to acknowledge the obvious. To overtly declare a fact that has already been true for quite some time now. Let me repeat:

WE WON THE WAR IN IRAQ
And since there will never be a ticker-tape parade down Fifth Avenue in New York for our troops, it's up to us, the people, to arrange a virtual ticker-tape parade. An online victory celebration.

Saturday, November 22, 2008 is the day of that celebration: Victory in Iraq Day.

What do you need to do to participate? Simple. Just make a post on your blog on Saturday, November 22, announcing that the war is over, and declaring that day to be Victory in Iraq Day. That's it.

For more info on the festivities, please go to: http://www.zombietime.com/vi_day/. There you will find how you can be a part of this special day.

Recyling Vintage Fabrics

An Article on Vintage Fabrics by Joan Kiplinger

Oh, that old thing, I threw it out......
I cut it up for dust rags......
I cut it up for craft stuff......
Hubby needed oil rags.......

Words which send shudders through collectors and protectors of any kind of textiles, old and new. How many times have you heard the above phrases and cringed at the loss of what might have been salvageable goods. Well, in the broadest sense, the well-intentioned folks above actually did salvage.....

However, it is a foregone conclusion how much more abundant costume and quilt collections as well as general textile market availability might be today if common sense were used in conjunction with salvageable.....

There comes a time when a decision has to be made about what is worth saving totally intact or in part or what is justified in discarding or cutting up textiles just for the fun of it.

Most fabric collectors agree that because a textile is old or worn or ragged or not in the best condition or slightly damaged is not grounds for cutting it to pieces nor throwing it in the nearest dumpster. Among the many reasons for saving, historical value alone is desirable, especially in determining origins for instance of a quilt or garment, and as much as possible should be retained of the original for provenance and study purposes.

So when is it not a sin to throw away or cut up the old - when damage is so severe that it renders total fabric useless for any cause - allover splitting, mildew, rust spots, pinholes, oil and other unremovable stains, permanent odor, mothholes and other bug infestation are justifible causes. While it might be possible to rescue a few small scraps, there is little reason to keep mutilations unless the damage itself can serve as an example for personal reference and study groups. And there are some preservers who would argue this last sentence be stricken in the cause of preservation of all mutilations.

The next decision is what to do with items in usable or salvageable condition that you do not want. The following are some suggestions which will enable their longevity and bring literal joy to the receiver:

1. Donate to local historical society or museum
2. Donate to church group
3. Donate to a charitable organization
4. Donate or sell to or make a deal with quilt guild
5. Donate or sell to or swap with friends and family interested in textiles
6. Donate or sell to or swap with artisans and crafters.
7. Sell to antique stores
8. Sell on Ebay
9. Place with consignment shop
10. Place a classified in local paper

Undoubtedly you can think of other resources. But if you decide to keep the good parts of throw-aways, here are some ideas how to recycle them. My thanks to the following for sharing their creativity and projects:

SPI's ARES Magazine

Ares was a science fiction wargame magazine published by Simulations Publications, Inc. (SPI), and then TSR, Inc., between 1980 and 1984. In addition to the articles, each issue contained a wargame, complete with a foldout stiff paper map, a set of cardboard counters, and the rules.

There were a total of seventeen issues printed, plus two special issues. The SPI company published the first eleven bimonthly issues (and had prepared a twelfth) before financial difficulties led to the company being bought out by TSR in 1982. A further six issues, published quarterly, were put out by TSR and then publication of the magazine was ceased. However, the Ares legacy lived on for another couple of years; a large new section called the Ares Section was added to Dragon Magazine starting with issue #84 (April 1984) and was treated as almost a magazine within a magazine. This special section provided support for science fantasy and superhero roleplaying games such as Gamma World, Marvel Super Heroes and Star Frontiers.The Ares Section ran through Dragon issue #111 (July 1986) after which it too was discontinued.

Hammered Aluminum Collectibles

If you are looking for a great metal to collect - aluminium is an excellent choice. Many things made out of aluminium were quite popular in their original day because of their very reasonable prices. Today aluminium collectables can still be quite reasonable when comparing their prices to other collectables. If you are interested in getting into collecting metal and are doing so on a budget - aluminium may very well be a wise choice for you.

Many like the idea of collecting hammered aluminium. The look is old fashioned and many find hammered aluminum quite attractive. Popular makers include Rodney Kent, Everlast and Continental. Serving pieces such as trays and silverware were made out of hammered aluminum. Vanity pieces for personal use were also made out of hammered aluminum. Silent butlers were also a popular item made out of hammered aluminum. Trays are considered a very collectable hammered aluminium item.

Canterbury Arts is one of the lesser-known and smaller American companies that produced decorative aluminum serving pieces during the middle of the 20th century. Two artists, Chester C. Pflanz and J. Hatterick (or Hattrick), ran the firm, which appears to have operated in upstate New York in the 1940s.

Buenilum is another company that produced decorative aluminum pieces. BW Buenilum which the BW stands for Frederic Buehner-Warner. Buehner studied with Kem Weber and Walter von Nessen under Bruno Paul at The Deutscher Werkbund Germany.
The Deutscher Werkbund (German Work Federation) was a German association of architects, designers and industrialists, an important precursor to the Bauhaus. It was founded in 1907 in Munich. Frederic Buehner emigrated to the United States in 1929. In 1933 he registered "Buenilum" which is the mark on the base.

Identifying glass bottles

Dating and Identifying Glass Bottles

The history of glass is at least as old as the Egyptian civilzation, their craftsmen created beautiful objects to adorn the tombs of their Kings and they used sand, soda and lime, just as we still do today. The Romans imported glass to Britain, however, relatively little was produced here until the 16th centuary, when glass making became a major industry. It is believed that by 1696 there were around 40 glassworks in England and they produced approximately 3,000,000 bottles per year.

The earliest glass bottles tend to be small pale green glass bottles, with rough sheared necks, used for medicines. Wine was sold in glass botlles from around 1650 and the bottles had a moulded lip and round bottoms, with the rod mark on the base, making them difficult to stand up, so they were inserted into baskets. By the middle of the 18th centuary, wine merchants put their seals on tthe bottle, this practise became defunct in the early 1900s when embossing became prevelent. From around 1700 wine bottles changed from being round, to being cylindrical, with necks as long as the body, from 1790 the neck of the wine bottle began to shorten.

Beer bottles were first produced during the 19th centuary and these were cylindrical and usually in dark green or brown glass, with fully fashioned lips. From around 1872 the beer bottle was closed using the internal screw closure, so the bottles often have an embossed screw thread inside the top of the neck.

Embossing product or maufacturer details into the glass of the bottle became common practise in the mid to late 1800's. The marble bottles or Codds bottles (named after their inventor) were produced from 1870s to the 1930s, they were produced to hold mineral water, and the pressure from the gas held the marble up in the top of the bottle neck against a cork seal. These marble bottles are increasingly rare, as generations of school boys have smashed them to retrieve the marble from within!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

We have started a new category in our CHShops.com Mall Store called Glass Bottles. See our current listings at: http://pennysantiquesandwedgwoodpantry.chshops.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=20_103&products_id=364.
